The original Boulder Startup Weekend started this whole project. It was in Boulder, late one night, that the idea was coined. Later, the idea was nudged into reality. And now 7 months later, after 15 Startup Weekend events around the world, it is time to come home.
The Boulder Startup Weekend II will take place March 21st-23rd at the CU . Tickets are on sale here for $40 and will be used to provide food, shirts, posters, music, streamers, pop rocks and soda.
This is from the first post of the Startup Weekend project:
“Create a startup in a weekend.
Simple eh? Let’s go.
Oh, you want more details?
In the Boulder/Denver mini Valley there is a sizable chunk of humble talent. Let’s get together, pick and idea and launch a startup around the idea in a weekend.”
So with that, I want to open the registration for the Boulder Startup Weekend II, which will be the first ’sequel’ of a city. Fitting for the city that inspired it all to be the first to repeat. Expectations are high, space is limited, sign up today.

You ready?
Startup Weekend is proud to announce that the Portland Startup Weekend will be held May 23-25 2008. This is Memorial day weekend, so plan accordingly. Surprisingly, this date worked the best when a sample from the cityvote project was polled. It will be great to have a nice northwestern spring day on Monday to enjoy as a holiday (which is a huge plus). This will be the 17th Startup Weekend to take place across the globe.
Please blog, twitter, IM and tell your friends about the weekend (and feel free to use this logo and link to this post). Oregon is my home state and I can’t wait to get back.
A nice intimate set will be provided by the great folks at SMtvMusic.com. We already have quite a few surprises planned for the first Startup Weekend in Oregon.
So, you want to get involved? Contact cities@startupweekend.com if you would like to help plan the event.
